Controller specs include behavior from ActionController::TestCase, which is designed to handle requests using a hash representing the action and params rather than a URL (or route). The proper way to do this is:

  get :edit, :id => @application.id, :job_id => @job.id, :account_id => @account_id

If you want to, you can use urls in request specs in rspec-rails-2 (integration specs in rspec-rails-1). But I wouldn't recommend that unless you feel you'll benefit from going through routing and rendering views.
